2. Set up the Plate on the Base.
   • 
     Do not use the product without the Drip Tray. Doing so may scorch the table or surface, or cause burns.
   • Make sure that the Drip Tray and Plate are level, and not leaning.
   • The Plate will fit onto the Base only one way. Make sure to set it up correctly.
   • Do not insert the Temperature Control Plug in the Plate before placing the Plate on the Base. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Insert the Temperature Control Plug

1. Firmly insert the Temperature Control Plug to the Plate.
   
2. Then plug in the Power Plug to an electrical outlet.

• Do not use other Temperature Control Plugs than the one provided. Do not use the Temperature Control Plug for other appliances.
• Insert the Temperature Control Plug completely until the white crescent marks on both Release Buttons are completely visible. The Plate may not heat up properly if the Temperature Control Plug is not inserted completely. Incorrectly inserting the Temperature Control Plug may also cause accidents or malfunctions due to abnormal heat generation.

• Make sure OFF aligns with the Operation Light.
• To remove the Temperature Control Plug, pinch both Release Buttons and pull the Plug away.
• This product is for grilling foods only. Do not use for other than intended purposes.
• Wipe the Plate clean before use.

Preheat and Cook

1. To begin preheating, turn the Temperature Control Dial so that HI aligns with the Operation Light. The Operation Light turns on and the Plate will begin to heat up.
   

2. The Operation Light will turn off when preheating completes. Turn the Temperature Control Dial so that the desired heat strength aligns with the Operation Light, and begin cooking.

• To keep food warm, set the dial to LOW.
• The product may make a creaking sound, but this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• The Operation Light will turn on and off during cooking. This indicates that the temperature is being controlled and not a malfunction.
• There may be some smoke or odor the first time the product is used, which is normal.

After Use

1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to OFF (align with the Operation Light), then unplug the Power Plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wipe off burnt on foods with a soft paper or cloth while the Plate is warm.
3. Allow the Plate to cool (at least 30 minutes after use), then remove the Temperature Control Plug from the Plate and clean.

• 
  The Plate (and Receptacle), Drip Tray and the Probe on the Temperature Control Plug will be hot for a while after use. Please take caution to prevent burns.
• Do not attempt to remove the Plate while the Temperature Control Plug is still inserted. Doing so may cause malfunction or damage.

SAFETY MECHANISM
This product is equipped with the following safety features:

• The Temperature Control Plug cannot be inserted if the Drip Tray and Plate are not properly placed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Be sure to clean thoroughly after every use. Leaving burnt foods on the Plate may cause scorching, and will become difficult to remove.

Clean the product after it has cooled down completely except for the Plate.

Base	Place mild kitchen detergent on a soft cloth and wipe. Wipe detergent off with a well-wrung cloth. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not soak. Doing so may cause water to pool inside the double-wall.	Never wash the Temperature Control Plug under water. Doing so may cause malfunction. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, nylon or steel brushes. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration or scratches. Do not use detergents other than mild kitchen detergents such as chlorine based alkaline detergents or acidic detergents. Doing so may cause corrosion. Do not leave or use the Plate soiled. Make sure to clean the bottom as well as the sides of the grids. Leaving the Plate soiled will not only make it difficult to clean, but will also cause uneven heating. It may also cause malfunction or fire. Do not use a dishwasher or a dish-dryer. Doing so may cause discoloration. Always clean thoroughly after using acid (vinegar) or salt contents (sauce, soy sauce or salt}. Leaving them on may cause corrosion of the nonstick coating. Do not soak the Plate. Do not allow water to come into contact with the Receptacle.
Drip Tray	Use a mild kitchen detergent and a soft sponge to wash. Rinse and then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Soak Drip Tray in warm water if food becomes stuck, then wash with a soft sponge.
Temperature Control Plug	Wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.
Plate	Wipe off burnt on foods with a soft paper or cloth while the Plate is warm. Remove the Plate from the base, then wash with a soft sponge soaked in warm water and mild kitchen detergent. Wipe detergent off with a clean, well-wrung sponge and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Wipe clean the Receptacle with a soft dry cloth. Do not wipe the Receptacle with anything wet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one bade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
